Initial start-up
Perform the following steps for initial start-up:
• Switch on the 12 VDC power supply of the
control panel and the furnace. With Truma
Combi eco plus and Truma Combi comfort
plus, also switch on the 120 VAC power sup-
ply (mains supply).
• Start searching for the furnace in menu item
“Settings” –> “RESET” –> “PR SET”.
When you have confirmed the selection, the
control panel is initialized. During this process,
“INIT ..” is shown on the display. The recognized
furnace is recorded in the control panel.
Start-up
Start/Stand-by screen
When the control panel is connected to the
power supply, after a few seconds a start screen
is displayed.
